PRlNTlNG-MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 748,886, dated January 5, 1904.

7 Application filed February 4, 1903. Serial No. 141,813. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES H. REINHARDT, a citizenoof the United States, and a resident of East Orange, Essex county, New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Printing-Machines, of which the following is a specification. A

The object of my invention is to provide a printing-machine particularly adapted for printing envelops, cards, and the like from stacks or piles thereof which are automatically fed to the printing devices; and the invention contemplates the novel details of improvement that will be more fully hereinafter set forth, and then pointed out in the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part hereof, wherein- Figure 1 is a side elevation of a printingmachine embodying my improvements. Fig. 2 is an end elevation thereof looking from the right in Fig. 1, the devices for receiving the printed matter being removed. Fig. 3 is a similar viewlooking from the left in Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a longitudinal section of the machine, showing some of the parts in a diiferent position from that indicated in Fi 1. Figs. 5 and 6 are detail views, enlarged, of one of the operating arms or levers of the machine; and Fig. 7 is a detail view of the devices for receiving the printed matter from the printing-cylinder.

Similar'characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several views.

My improvements are illustrated in connection with a machine of the character having a reeipronalive type-carrier and an oscillatory or rotary cylinder.

The numeral 1 in the drawings indicates the main frame of the machine, which may he of any approved form. Said frame is shown provided with a shaft 2, having apnlley 3 to receive a belt from any source of power, and 4 indicates a counter-shaft journaled in the frame and operated by shaft 2 through interposed gearing 5, the shaft 4 having a pulley 6 to transmit power by belt 7 iothe niain operating-shafts, journaled in the frame 1 and provided with apulleyi) for the belt 7; but any other suitable means may be provided for operating shaft 8. The shaft 11o more or less along slot 15". have shown link l8 at one endof slot 15",

side bars and cross connections or bars 11 12,

is guided to reciprocate in frame 1 and-is shown mounted upon rollers 13, carried by studs 14, supported by frame 1, so that frame 10 may reciprocate freely beneath the printing-cylinder. To reciprocate the frame 10, I have shown a rocker-arm 15 pivotally sup ported at its lower end, as by a shaft 16, car ried by frame 1, and its upper end pivot-ally connected by a link 17 with the cross-bar 11 of frame 10. The arm 15 is shown provided with a slot 15*, that receives shaft 8, whereby said arm may freely rock, and said arm is operated from crank SFbymeans of a link '18, extending from said crank to a point on the arm 15 at one side of its pivotal point or shaft 16. I have shown means for adjustably connecting link 18 with arm 15, so that the latter may be rocked to a greater or less extent by crank 8, as may be desired, and

for this purpose I have shown arm ,15 pro-' vided with a slot 15 to receive a pin 18 adapted to be secured to arm '15 in slot 15*, as by a bolt and nut, whereby the pin 18 may be adjusted along slot l5 with respect to shaft 16, whereby to regulate the stroke of arm 15. For instance,'when pin 18 is at the end of slot 15 nearest to shaft 16 the crank 8 will move arm 15 the greatest extent. When pin 18 is at the opposite end of slot 15*, arm 15 will be rocked the smallestamount, and the amount of movement Of ar|n,1f5 maybe regulated between such limits by adjustiug pin In Fig. l I

while in Fig. 4 I have shown pin 18* midway pf said slot for the purpose of illustration The frame 10 is provided with a verticallymovable type-chase carrier 20, which is connected with frame to reciprocate therewith. To this end the carrier is shown provided with bearing ribs or edges 20", that rest upon rails or guides 21, pivotally supported in frame 1, as upon a shaft or bar 22, carried thereby near one end of said guides, so that the latter may tilt. Thus the typechase carrier 20 may slide back and forth along the guides 21. Means are provided for raising and lowering said guides as and when required, and to this end I have shown cams 23 mounted upon a shaft 24, suitably carried in frame 1, the guides 21 resting upon said cams. Said cams are so arranged that when adjusted to one position, as in Fig. 1, they raise guides 21 and the type-carrier 20 up into printing position or line, by which I mean that when frame 10 is moved in one direction-say to the rightin Fig. 1the type will be in position to coact with the cylinder in making an impression, and when the cams 23 are adjusted to another position, as indicated in Fig. 4, the guides 21 and the type-chase carrier 20 will be depressed, so that when 10 moves to the left in Fig. 4 the type will pass freely beneath the cylinder Without encountering the same. Type-chase carrier 20 is shown connected with frame 10, so as to have vertical movement therein, by means of a link 25, pivotally connecting said frame and carrier. (See Fig. 4.)' Thus when carrier 20 is raised or lowered the link 25 permits the carrier to adjust itself with respect to frame 10, and at all times said link operatively connects frame 10 and carrier 20. To operate cams 23 at the desired times, I have shown one of the cams pivotally connected with a lever or arm 26, (shown in the form of a bell-crank lever,) pivotally supported upon frame 1, as on a stud at 26, the short or lower part 26 of arm 26 being adapted to be operated by a cam 27, carried upon shaft 8, and said cam is shown about equally divided into a low part and a high part, (see Fig. 4,) whereby when the low part of the cam alines with arm 26 cams 23 will move to permit lever 21 and carrier 20 to be depressed, as in Fig. 4, and when the high part of the cam is in line with arm 26? cams 23 will be raised to lift carrier 20 to the printing position, as in Fig.1 As a convenient means of moving or lowering the type out of printing position when desired, I provide the arm 26 of lever 26 with a roller 28, adapted to coact with cam 27 and to be moved into and out of line with the operating portion of said cam, and for this purpose I have shown arm 26 as forked at its lower end at 26 (see Fig. 6) and supporting a shaft 29, so that the latter may slide, the roller 28 being secured to said shaft, the space between the members of fork 26 being sufficiently t by lever 26; but by moving shaft 29 and roller and the carrier 20, table or plate 30, and ribs or bars 20* may all be cast in a single piece of metal, if desired, as indicated in Fig. 4, wherein the carrier has a recess to receive a type-chase. The table or plate 30 is above the bottom of said recess and the guide ribs or bars 20 are below said recess. The table or plate 30 is adapted to reciprocate beneath inking and distributing rollers. v In the arrangement I have shown a pair of inkingrollers 31 are carried in suitable bearings, supported by frame 1 and adapted to have vertical movement, as indicated, by slotted bearings, the table or plate 30 and the type being adapted to engage said rollers when guides 21 are raised.

32 32 are distributing-rollers carried in suitable bearings supported by frame 1, so as to have slight vertical movement, the table or plate 30 being adapted to slide in contact with said rollers. Ink may be applied to rollers 32 32 by any suitable means, and to this end I have shown an ink fountain or supply arranged as follows: Two arms 34, pivotally supported in frame 1, as by a shaft 35, at their upper ends are connected by an inclined plate 36, located between end pieces 37, a roller 38 hearing against the lower forward end of plate 36 and adapted to engage roller 32. (See Fig. 4.) The roller 38 is journaled between the end pieces 37 and is provided with a ratchet 39, adapted to engage a pawl or dog 40, supported by frame 1. The space between parts 36, 37, and 38 constitutes an ink fountain or supply, and when arms 34 are rocked roller 38 will be moved toward and from roller 32, and when moved toward the latter the ratchet and dog 39 40 will cause roller 38 to rotate, so that during the oscillations of arms 34 roller 38 will he intermittently rotated. During the rotation of roller 38 it will carry ink from the lower edge of plate 36 and will apply itto roller 32. From thence the ink will be distributed to table or plate 30. To oscillate the arms 34, shaft 35 is shown provided with an extension or finger 41 adapted to be actuated by an arm 42, pivotally connected with frame 1, as by a shaft 42, the arm 42 being adapted to be rocked by means of a rod 43, pivotally connected with 42 and connected by a strap 44 with an eccentric 45, carried by shaft 8. The throw of arm 42 may be regulated by means of a slot-and-pin connection between said arm and rod 43 or otherwise. I have shown arm 42 providedwith a slot 42, receiving a pin 46, connected with ITO rod 43 and provided with a nut 47 to secure the parts together. Adjustment may also be made for regulating the amount of oscillation of the ink-fountain by means of a screw 41 carried by finger 41 and adapted to be engaged by arm 42. (See Figs. 1 and 4.)

Above the type-carrier 20 the impressioncylinder 50 is journaled, so as to oscillate, and is supported upon a shaft 51, carried in suitable hearings on frame 1. The cylinder 50 may generally be constructed in any wellknown manner and is shown provided with heads 50*, secured to shaft 51 and having a band 50 secured to and passing around said heads. I have shown a set-screw 50 carried by hubs 50 of cylinder 50 and engaging shaft 51 for securing the cylinder to the shaft. By means of this screw I am enabled to release the cylinder from the shaft, so as to rotate the cylinder freely or the shaft independent of the cylinder-operating devices in making ready or while applying the usual overlay sheets on the cylinder.

To shaft 51 at the ends of cylinder 50 are secured gear segments or wheels 52 in mesh with racks 53, carried by frame 10, whereby when said frame reciprocates the cylinder 50 will be oscillated. If preferred, a single gear segment or wheel 52 and rack 53 may be used. The cylinder 50 is in such position that when type carrier 20 is elevated, as shown in Fig. 1, the type carried thereby will make an impression on material a, interposed between the type and said cylinder in well-' known manner. The means I have shown for gripping the matter to be printed for carrying it over the type by said cylinder are arranged as follows: 54 indicates grippers or fingers pivolally carried by cylinder 50, as by being secured to a shaft 55, journaled in hearings in the heads 50, and at or near its to be rocked to operate grippers 54:. The arm 56 has a pin or extension 56, adapted to receive a slotted or forked end of an arm 58, secured on a shaft 59, journaled in the heads 50*.or the wheels 52. Said shaft also has a crank-arm 60, shown provided with an extension or pin 60, that is adapted during the oscillations of cylinder 50 to engage a cam 61, whereby to rock shaft 59. The cam 61 is made adjustable, so as to regulate the relative time at which the grippers 54 shall open, and for this purpose said cam is shown carried upon an arm 62, journaled upon shaft 51 and provided with means for holding it in any desired position. For this purpose I have shown a standard 1 on frame 1 as provided with a-slot at 1 to receive a thumbscrew or the like 63, connected with lever or arm 62 for holding cam 61 rigid. Shaft 59 at the end adjacent to arm 57 carries a crankarm 64, which has a forked or slotted end the like adapted to engage a cam 66, carried by standard 1 of frame 1 to be engaged by projection 65. (See Fig. 5.) The forks of arms 58 and 64 are wider than extensions 56 and 57 to permit some independent movement of said arms. A spring is provided to normally hold grippers 54 against cylinder 50, and thereby to hold the operating devices of said grippers in their normal positions also, and to this end I'provide a spring at, shown connected at one end with arm 56 and at the other end with an extension 50 on cylinder 50. In the gripping position of the grippers 54 the arms 60 and 65 are free from their respective cams, and the respective positions of the cams 61 and 66 are such that cam 61 will operate arm 60 tocause grippers 54 to open when cylinder 50 has about reached the end of the printing stroke, while cam 66, being below cam 61, is in position to be engaged by arm 65 when cylinder 50 has about'reached theaposition to receive printed matter cat its grippers, as indicated by the position of the grippers in dotted lines in Fig. 1. The position and shape of cam 66 are such that when cylinder 50 rotates in the reverse direction and arm 65 engages the face 66 of cam 66 said arm will cause shaft 55 to be rocked to open the grippers when the grippers have arrived at about the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1, and the cylinder 50 will then have sufficient movement to permit the extension 65 to pass beyond the end 66 of cam 66, and spring a; through the intermediate elements will then cause arm 65 to swing outwardly, whereupon on the return movement of cylinder 50 extension 65 will ride along beyond the outer surface 66 of cam 66 to thereby permit spring a: to cause the grippers to grip the material a. to be printed to hold it against cylinder 50. During the continued movement of the cylinder the material a will be carried by the cylinder against the type,

and when the cylinder has moved so far thatv said material is free from the type arm 60 will have engaged cam 6i, and thus shaft 55 will be rocked to open grippers 5 1 and release the material (t, as indicated in Fig. 4.

The means I have shown for feeding the material to be printed to the cylinder 50 are arranged as follows: 70 indicates a table or plate having one end located adjacent to cylinder 50, upon which table or plate the envelops, cards, or other material a to be printed are placed in one or more piles or stacks. The table 70 is supported by frame 1, and for this purpose I have shown pairs of arms 71 72 pivotally carried by frame 1 and at their upper ends pivotally connected with table 70, as at 71 72*, the arrangement being such that when table 70 is in the operative position said arms will be substantially in the position indicated'in Fig. 1, whereby table 70 is held above the in k-rollers, and by means of said arms the table 70 may be swung toward the left in Fig. 1 away from the frame to permit access to the in k-rollers, type-carrier, 850.

Table carries a feeder for the stock or material a, which is shown in the form of a finger 73, carried by a slide 74, which is guided in a way or recess 70 in the table (see Fig. 3) and adapted to be reciprocated along said table. In order that stock a from more than one stack may be simultaneously fed to cylinder 50, the slide 74 is shown provided with a plate 75,'to which several fingers 73 are attached, the surface of table 70 being depressed at its rearward portion to receive the plate 75,

as at 70, whereby the stock a can rest on theforward portion of the table and plate can slide freely under the stock, the finger 73 projecting sufficiently to engage the rear edge of the lowermost piece of stock. The slide 74 is reciprocated, preferably, from the main shaft 8, and for this purpose I have shown said slide provided with a rod or extension 76, secured to the under side thereof, projecting beneath table 70 and receiving the forked end of a rocker-arm 77, that is secured to the shaft 42 of arm 42, whereby when rod 43 is reciprocated by cam 45 the slide 70 and finger 73 will be likewise reciprocated. The plate 75 is preferably made adjustable lengthwise of slide 74 to enable the finger or fingers 73 to coactproperlywith stockaofdiiferentlengths, and to this end I have shown in Fig. 8 theslide 74 as slotted longitudinally at 74 to receive a screw, bolt, or other fastener 75 to adjustably connect plate 75 with slide 74, whereby plate 75 can be adjusted toward or from cylinder 50 the desired distance to correspond with the length of stock a to be pushed toward the cylinder by fingers 73, whereby in whatever position of plate 75 a stroke of similar length of slide 74 will suffice to feed the stock to the grippers on cylinder 50.-

To assure that only the lowermost piece of stock a of a stock or pile will be moved by a finger or fingers 73, I provide one or more stops 78, that lie in front of the pile of stock at, their lower ends being adapted to engage the piece of stock that is next to the lowest in the pile, so that the lowermost piece may slide undersaid stock. (See Fig.1.) The table 70 is shown provided with posts 79, to which the stops 78 are adjustably connected, and for this purpose I have shown a bar 80 mounted to slide on said posts and to which said stops 78 are secured and depend in front of the stock, set-screws or the like 81 serving to hold bar 80 in any adjustable position upon posts 79, whereby the stops 78 may be adjusted vertically'in accordance with the thickness of the piece of stock a.

The printed stock or material may be delivered from cylinder 50 to any suitable receiving table, belt, or the like. I have shown arrangements for this purpose as follows: A pair of arms 82, Figs. 1, 4, are pivotally supported at their lower ends in frame 1, as upon shaft 8, and the upper ends of said arms have extensions 82 82", in which, respectively, are journaled pulleys or rollers 83 84, over which one or more endless belts 85 pass. The belts 85 may be actuated from shaft 8 by means of a pulley 86, secured to roller 83, and a pulley 87, secured on shaft 8, a belt 88 connecting pulleys 86 and 87. The arms 82 are adapted to hold the belts 85 near the cylinder 50 in an inclined position with respect thereto, as shown in Fig. l,said arms being maintained in such position by a suitable stop, as by the extensions 82", resting against part of frame 1. As the stock is carried from the type by cylinder 50 it will pass above belts 85, the lower ends of the belts being preferably in contact with cylinder 50, so that the stock will be gripped between the'belts and the cylinder, as indicated in Fig. 4, whereby when the grippers 54 release the printed stock it will spring from the cylinder over upon the belts 85 and will be carried away by them. The arrangement is such that the arms 82, with the belts 85, may be swung away from the operating position to permit access to the cylinder and other parts, the pulley 86 traveling on an are described around shaft 8, whereby belt 88 remains upon pulleys 86 and 87 at all times.

The complete operation of the machine may be described as follows: Assuming the typecarrier 20 to be provided with type and the parts in the printing position as indicated in Fig. 1., the grippers 54 having gripped a piece of stock and shaft 8 rotating in the direction of the arrow b in Fig. 1 the high part of cam 27 will, through lever 26, hold cams 23 in position to maintain rails 21 elevated and the type in the printing position, cylinder 50 rotatingin the direction of the arrow 0 in Fig. 1, arm 15 moving to the right in said figure. Type-carrier 20 will be drawn by said arm to the right in Fig. 1 to the end of the stroke, Fig. 2, and when arm 60 engages cam 61 shaft 59 will be rocked, grippers 51 will open to release the stock a, as indicated in Fig. 2, and thereupon the high partof cam 27 will pass from under lever 26, and cams 23 will rotate and permit guides 21 and type-carrier 20 to descend, as indicated in Fig. 4, the stock a dropping upon belts 85. During such movements eccentric 45 will, through rod 43, have caused arms 34 to move the roller 38 into engagement with ink-roller 32 to apply ink to the latter, and finger 73 will have been moved to the left in position to engage the lowermost piece of stock of a stack. The continued rotation of shaft Scauses crank 8 to move arm 15 and carrier 20 to the left of the type, passing freely beneath cylinder 50 to the limit of the stroke, during which time the low part of cam 27 is alined with arm 26*; but eccentric 45 has drawn rod 43 and finger 73 to the right by the time carrier 20 has been moved fully to the left, thus feeding a piece of stock a, cylinder 50 meanwhile being rotated reversely to the direction of the arrow 0 in Fig. 1. At

about the time that crank 8 has made onehalf revolution from the position indicated in Fig. 4 the grippers 54 will have about reached the position to receive the edge of a IIO piece of stock, and arm 65 will have reached cam 66, and thus opened the grippers, and before arm b5 slips olf the edge 66 of cam 66 rod 43 will have caused finger 73 to push the lowermost piece of stock into position with its forward edge between the grippers and cylinder 50. Ann 65 will next slip oli'i' the edge 66 of cam 66 and spring so and will operate grippers 54 to grip the stock, and at about such time the high part of cam 27 will cause lever 26 to operate cams 23 to raise guides 21, and thereby type-carrier 20, to the printing position, the ink-table 30 being new in engagement with the ink distributing rollers, the type having been carried beyond inking-rollers 31. The continued rotation of shaft 8 now causes arm to more to the right in Fig. 1, drawing the type-carrier 20, the type engaging inking-rollers 31, the stock being carried between the type and cylinder 50, an impression thus being made, during which time finger 73 moves back to the gripping position, and roller 38 moves toward roller 32, and at about that time 15 moves to the limit of its stroke cam 27 will permit lever 26, and thereby the typecarrier, to de scend, and cam 61 through arm 60 and the connected parts will open the grippers and release the stock. During the time that arm 15 is moving carrier to the right the ink will be distributed over table 30 and applied to the ink-rolls 31.

' I do not in this application claim the grippers on the cylinder with the means for operating the same, as I have made the same the subject of a divisional application filed October 22, 1903, Serial No. 178,004.
